...Frank McMahon, chief field investigator for the Humane Society of the U.S. in Washington, D.C. The St. Bernard, like other breeds before it, has suffered the effects of popularity. Citing huge commercial "puppy mills" run by unscrupulous owners, McMahon says: "The minute a dog rises high on the American Kennel Club list, the inbreeding and overbreeding start viciously...
...attention of some 1,000 booksellers who were listening to a tape of Morris. The details of his life are stark. Five years ago, Morris was rescued from imminent execution at the Hinsdale, Ill., Humane Society by Professional Animal Handler Bob Martwick. Morris earned Martwick's kennel over $10,000 last year, which more than pays his keep. Moreover, he has tripled 9-Lives' sales.

The November issue contains a lengthy report on canine activity under the mastership of Presidents since 1951. Dog Lover Traphes L. Bryant, retired kennel keeper of the White House, reports that presidential pups have relieved themselves on carpets, Calder sculptures and on one memorable occasion, Jacqueline Kennedy. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Weimaraner infuriated her short-tempered master by chasing his golf balls. John F. Kennedy soothed himself during the Cuban missile crisis by taking time out to pet his daughter Caroline...
